Installing Resilio.

1. Download Resilio on your Seedbox. Use the command below to download it and then extract it.

wget https://download-cdn.resilio.com/stable/linux-x64/resilio-sync_x64.tar.gz && tar -xvzf resilio-sync_x64.tar.gz

2. Once downloaded, you have to configure Resilio, the first command is to create a sample config which we can edit.

./rslsync -–dump-sample-config > sync.conf

Once you create the sample config, it is time to edit, our favorite app to edit file is nano.

nano sync.conf

It will open up the config file to setup the app.

3. Make few required folder, use the command below.

cd ~/downloads && mkdir sync

Configuring Resilio.

1. Use the following Setup for our Seedbox or VPS to Auto Download files from Seedbox. YMMV if you using it on your own server, edit accordingly.

"storage_path" : "/home/YOURUSERNAME/.sync",
"pid_file" : "/home/YOURUSERNAME/resilio.pid",
"directory_root" : "/home/YOURSERNAME/downloads/sync", (This is gonna be the sync folder)
 "webui" :
"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888" (Instead of 8888, set some open port, You can try using random till you get an open port or open ticket)
/* preset credentials. Use password or password_hash */
"login" : "YOUR USERNAME"
"password" : "SOMETHING VERY SECURE"

2. Once it is done, just hold CTRL + X and save it. And that’s the configuration part. Start it now using the following command.

./rslsync --config ~/sync.conf

3. Once done, just go to the following link and you will get greeted with “Get Started” Page.

http://IP OF THE SERVER:8888/gui/

4. Once Logged in, click on the “big +” sign on the left top and add the file directory there. Click on Open once done.

5. Once you click Open it will show you Link, Key & QR Code, Just click on Key and copy and save the Read & Write Code. As we will need it in sometime.

That’s all, Resilio is on and running, we have set ~/downloads/sync/ as sync location so it doesn’t sync your whole seedbox, just the new torrent or files, you can change or add location anytime you like.
